Ok, this is going to sound like one of those idiotic, immature, stupid, snot-nosed wannabe questions. And I dont know how to ask it without sounding like any combination of those traits I just listed, so here goes. How often do personell in the 1800 (1812/1833) MOS field find themselves in combat in Iraq? I'm enlisting for 0300, but I have two buddys who both are dead set on 1800 and they seem to think, based on what they've told me, that they will be fighting as much/often as the grunts, which I find hard to fathom. Not to say 1800s dont get in the ****, but just not as much/often as the 03's.
Also, I have another question if you don't mind. Are Combat Engineers considered a Combat Arms MOS? Thank you for your time/patience Marines.
